Description
Linola seed is a type of flaxseed that has been bred to have a low alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content. ALA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is important for human health, but it can also be unstable and go rancid easily. Linola seed has a much lower ALA content than regular flaxseed, making it more stable and less likely to go rancid.
Linola seed is a good source of other nutrients, including protein, fiber, and lignans. Lignans are plant compounds that have been shown to have a number of health benefits, including reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Linola seed can be eaten whole, ground into flour, or pressed for oil. It can be added to a variety of foods, including cereals, yogurt, smoothies, and baked goods.
